For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with shiitake mushrooms, and use a high-quality vegetable oil. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. A splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar can add a delightful umami depth to the dish. Ensure the bok choy is thoroughly dry before adding it to the skillet to prevent steaming instead of sautéing.
